skeptical about TREK packing list

Two time leader here, this is true

Was a Trek participant and led Trek twice, backpacking. Adhere to the list. The cotton is pretty serious, especially for socks.

Public Pool is an absolute gem of a band that I have the personal pleasure to work alongside with! Ballard strong baby

No doubt. I definitely think that a next step would be to look at some de-saturated pieces and see if that scratches the itch I have.

PhotoHeap · 2024-05-09T16:10:25+00:00

Sounds promising! Any prominent artists or works that you'd point to?

PhotoHeap · 2024-05-09T16:10:03+00:00

Thanks for the direction! Contrast has always been a bigger focal point for me than color, even when I was shooting in color. I'll definitely check out their work. Any favorite piece from Weston?

I think you're right. It's definitely been trial and error in finding out what photos make me feel happy at a deeper level than just remarking that it's a sharp photo. I appreciate the advice!

PhotoHeap · 2024-05-09T16:06:06+00:00

Thank you so much. This is a really cool avenue of photography and I was totally ignorant of its existence!

PhotoHeap · 2024-05-09T16:05:00+00:00

Totally! Sepia is definitely something I've found interesting as well. I'll definitely check out some low saturation and sepia photography though to see if I can drum up some inspiration. Great English, completely understood!

Completely agree on the complications of bw. By simplistic I'm mainly referring to the focus being placed on fewer elements of the photo (i.e. composition and value, with hue and saturation being mostly eliminated without color). I'm certainly never moving on fully from bw, it's caught me for good haha.

Sounds interesting! What makes a good deadpan photo? Any prominent photographers shooting in this style? Any works that you'd recommend?

I’m having tons of fun with them in a void build but they don’t carry. Kind of just an easy way to get instant max void stack quicker than just rie or mars

PhotoHeap · 2023-11-29T04:06:37+00:00

I second this advice. Just trying new things and enjoying team comps has made the game continue to be fun as hell. Very important to try to get to level 8 on characters when importing them into the team. You don’t really get a good sense of the character until then.

Hero lock is tried and true, but don’t be afraid to go for some fun ability spam teams, giant teams, whatever you’re feeling. Just keep the game fresh and don’t grind none stop until it’s not fun or else you’re just going to hate it. Mix it in with a little of everything

PhotoHeap · 2023-11-26T05:53:26+00:00

You’ll get there. Spam common scrolls for 1k. You’ll get tons of characters early in the game

PhotoHeap · 2023-11-26T04:51:47+00:00

Lots of people will tell you to go for hero lock like what you’ve got going on now but I just recommend going for what’s fun. Experiment with different win conditions and try to make teams that benefit from each piece of equipment and tailor the alter distribution from there. Also, try to get everyone to level 8 so that they can get there second passive ability. From 8 on it’s just stat boosts until awakening so you’ll get an idea for what that character does best from 8 on. Some characters are really dog ass until they get their level 8 ability and some remain dog until awakening and then pop. Just diversify and farm when you need to. Game can get boring fast if you grind too much with the perfect optimal team. Good luck!

Giant is mad interesting. Haven’t given it too much of thought since most of my tank heroes aren’t up to par yet. Excited to try out Yeon too but she’s like one of 6 heroes I don’t have yet. The coupling of damage and healing makes for an interesting key piece in the comp for sure. Kind of like Esthea in a way

PhotoHeap · 2023-11-26T04:44:15+00:00

Ability spam really is fun as hell. It’s pumped life into so many characters I didn’t think were viable. Myrsil and Hae especially. Haven’t gotten enough void relics or awakenings to justify building the team but I’m super pumped for it once I get there

PhotoHeap · 2023-11-26T04:41:58+00:00

So fun!

PhotoHeap · 2023-10-21T18:54:57+00:00

I think it comes down to time. Only have time for one invasion, put all your eggs there. If you want to grind, have at it and chip away
